WARNING

Electric motors can cause explosions when operated near explosive materials or vapors. Do not
operate this machine near flammable materials such as solvents, thinners, fuels, grain dust, etc.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance — if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Sketch A below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
